Updating iMac to Mavericks and Parallels Desktop 8

Last week I decided to make the jump and update my iMac to Mavericks. After using Microsoft Windows for years, I was a little nervous about such a major update. The download was about 5GB, which took about 40 minutes to download, then it needed to install. My main concern about the update was that I use Parallels Desktop 8 to run a Windows XP VM machine and that after the update there might be some issues with this. After the update I was surprised how little had changed and that everything just worked fine, including Parallels Desktop. Just wanted to write a quick blog entry to say that I had no issues with this update.
